Got It One Piece At A Time...build thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

semperfidoordie · 08-09-2008, 02:18 PM

So everybody I'm starting my very own build thread. Here's the low down...saved up my money in Iraq and found a great truck off an awesome guy on this board and got it for a real good price. Unfortunately enough the rear tire blew out on the way home so I had to replace it and I’m sure as everyone knows 16.5 tires are hard to come by so i upgraded. More to come.

Welcome back home from Iraq! That's a really nice looking truck you got there. What plans do you have for it? ...Joe

Riveted1 · 08-09-2008, 06:36 PM

Welcome back and thank you for your service! I think you should leave her just like she is..... Looks good to me!

But since this IS a build thread.... what you gonna do to her?

original_balzer · 08-09-2008, 06:56 PM

OH MAN! even though yours is a long fleet 3/4t it reminds me of my first truck a 69 short step white MAN I love it.

Thanks for your military service as well.

Spray-Bomb · 08-09-2008, 08:22 PM

Sweet man !!!

Love'n it

semperfidoordie · 08-09-2008, 09:26 PM

thanks everybody. as for what I'm going to do with it. for now just put a toolbox in the back...probably some different mufflers and possibly headers, of course a radio as it's stereo-less at the moment and some kick panel speakers but like I said this is all going to come at a slow pace because it's all on my not so giant budget haha...thanks for all the comments

semperfidoordie · 09-02-2008, 10:33 PM

So I went to the junkyard today and picked up a good drivers side door handle and a drivers side window crank...also slapped some new knobs for the locks and put the old country bumpkin mirrors on there at the SoCal Meet...no pictures yet but i will have some up soon.

semperfidoordie · 09-02-2008, 10:34 PM

Thanks everybody I got a set of 3 HD wheels trying to decide on getting the fourth and putting them on a set of tires for extras or putting them on for good and keeping these as extra haven't made up my mind yet...thanks 70rs/ss for the wheels...sure is a great guy

semperfidoordie · 09-29-2008, 02:23 PM

Just ordered the weatherstripping for the door, adhesive, a Custom Auto Sound AM/FM radio, Custom Auto Sound dual dash speakers, and graphite wiper blades. Just gotta wait for them to get here

**steelhorse** · 09-29-2008, 04:03 PM

semperfidoordie · 09-29-2008, 10:46 PM

Thanks Steelhorse. I can't wait to get the new goodies in. To include the window crank and outer door handle that I've been putting off due to laziness

70rs/ss · 10-02-2008, 04:27 PM

So my radio and speaker shipped yesterday and got here today so that's going in this weekend then when I get the other stuff im finishing the weatherstripping and wipers.....then the ac and when all the creature comforts are done then the good stuff starts :d
